Temperature - Right now it averages 80 degrees and doesnt go below 75 and usually not much more than 90 ... that sound alright?

Humidity usually ranges from 73 - 78 but that without me spraying any water...that sound alright?

Bed-A-Beast - is the bedding im currently using for my snakes, anyone here any problems with it? i like it alot keeps humidity high so no real need of spraying also cuts down on how often you have to change it, cost about 5$ a block and last along time and a block covers about 3ft by 2ft with average 2-3" deep

Do you have a temp gradiant? Should be in the 85-90 warm side. And like 78-80 cool side. Not the whole tank one temp.

Humidity sounds to high to me. I don't worry about humidity unless shedding time. Then I'll mist her tank several times till she sheds. Otherwise I just keep a big water bowl in with her.

Have never used that bed n beast stuff. I use reptile bark.

There is a very informative site about carpet pythons...

Has a ton of info.

Use a dry substrate. Humidity should be around 50-60%. Humdity as high as you currently have it will give her blisters and cause other skin and scale issues if kept for a long term basis.
